Hi Nick,

Our LP-08 fellows will probably ask if the piece is de-activated or not and original, factory finish or not.

Same with British proofs or not.

the part is at my home in florida it has not been deactivated or have british proof marks ,i dont suppose its been to the uk, and has over 99% of its original factory finish

anyone?

Perhaps you can compare your gun to on of these? http://www.simpsonltd.com/index.php?cPath=1_3
But these are US prices, here in Europe they are often not that high: Probably because there is a more limited marked due to more strict regulations concerning gun ownership.
Btw, it sounds like a very nice Luger! ..pictures would be nice if possible

If it's only the upper it will not match the lower, or the extractor. I would guess $750 but I may be low.

YOUR LOCATION SHOWS LONDON, thus folks would assume you are in the UK...

sorry when i asked for an oppinion as to the value of the top half of a 1917 dated artillery luger in 99.9 new condition i didnt think were i lived made a difference. for those interested i have homes in the uk the us and ireland. my local gun shop ,in florida, has a frame for which he wants $450 it is only in 50% condition so does not match the top but at least i will have a shootable gun. a neighbour in florida, gave me the top so i have no money in it. they lost the frame in a move .they did not want to drive across country with a complete gun!.

IMHO
$450 for a frame in 50% condition seems a little high. But the upper is worth more than the price of a lower.
